Once Nasreddin was invited to deliver a sermon. When he got on the pulpit, he asked, Do you know what I am going to say? The audience replied "no", so he announced, I have no desire to speak to people who don't even know what I will be talking about! and left.
The people felt embarrassed and called him back again the next day. This time, when he asked the same question, the people replied yes. So Nasreddin said, Well, since you already know what I am going to say, I won't waste any more of your time! and left.
Now the people were really perplexed.
They decided to try one more time and once again invited the Nasreddin to speak the following week. Once again he asked the same question – Do you know what I am going to say? Now the people were prepared and so half of them answered "yes" while the other half replied "no". So Nasreddin said Let the half who know what I am going to say, tell it to the half who don't, and left!

"Pfft! He just wanted to collect his sermon fee with the minimum of effort! I know his game ... "
Haha, this guy was a real genius. He got paid, I'm sure! Aesop and Nasreddin, both great sages...  |

A friend pops round to Nasreddin's house and while having a cup of tea comments "That clock never tells the right time". Nasreddin gets up, leaves the room for a couple of minutes and returns wielding a hammer. He hits the clock and breaks it. 'Mullah!' his friend exclaimed. 'How on earth is that an improvement?' Nasreddin smiled and replied 'Of course it's an improvement, it's now right twice a day.' |

A schoolteacher used to take a short nap every afternoon.
When his pupils asked him why he did so, he said that he went to dreamland to meet ancient sages.
One extremely hot day some of the pupils fell asleep in the afternoon. When the school-teacher chided them, they said, "We went to meet the sages in dreamland."
"What did they say?" demanded the teacher.
"We asked them if a school- teacher came there every afternoon, but they said they had never seen such a person."
